January 7, 2019

Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jean-François Pruneau as President and CEO of Videotron.

Since joining Quebecor in 2001, Jean-François has made a major contribution to creating value for the Corporation and its shareholders. We began working together at that time, when I myself was President and CEO of Videotron. I must say that I have rarely encountered a CFO with such well-developed business instincts and sense for operations. With his clear vision and exceptional skills, he has been able to develop customized strategies that have enabled Quebecor and its subsidiaries, including Videotron, to post strong performances and execute on our ambitious business plan. I am confident that Jean-François is the right person to ensure Videotron’s success going forward

With Videotron’s solid team, we will continue to focus on the customer experience, innovation and the power of convergence. I am determined to continue growing the company and want to lead Videotron to new heights.
